' TOIALL WHOM IT CONCERN:

Be it known 'thet I, GEORGE NIMMO, inf-Jersey City, `the countt of Hudson, and State of NewfrJersey, i have invented, made, and applied to use a. certain new and useful improvement in Sesh or Blind Supporters,"

and I do hereby declare the following to be u full, clenig'arirl exact description-ofthe said intention, reference being hiirl ifo the annexed drawing, making part of this vspecification,'wherein--v Figure 1- is au elev'ation of the said sash supporterusnpplied tov the slidingfblindforu railroad can; and Figure 2 is a sectiouatll plan oi' said sash supporter, at line xx of iig.J 1. 'i Blocks of India rubber nnrl'also strips of elastic material halve beenapplied at tbesides of window-sashes ndblindstorsupport the saule; The nature of my said invention consists iti a.v conve; retaining cap resting on the rubber sind Vattached by screws, so that the rubber muy be pressed out lterallyto gi've'more or 'lessfrictiom by screwing down the' said'convex cop more or'less-tightly upon Ythe block oi; India. rubber` In the drawing, represents the frame; or casing' in'whieh the saslror blind b slides; -c is the block of.

Indiarubber; UZ is the cap-plate,V with a. convex vside nextvto the India. rubber; and e e are the-screws, by meazs ot which the cup cl and block-c are attached, and by the tightening or slackuingo'fwhich, theIndia. rubber is press-ed moreo'r less aguinst the surface of 'the casing to producethenecessary friction for supporting the sash or blind. Atf, I have representedilotches or corrugzitions at theside of the window-frame where the Indierubber block comes into lContact with it. This increzises the friction, ndthe s urfcceof therubber block itself muy also' be corrugated if desired. A v- I Y Wht I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl I l The sash olnblind supporter formed of'the convex retaining cap'd, and screwsgcombned with the Indic- 'rubberblo'ck c, in the manner and 'for the purposes set forth.v L i In witness whereof have hereunto set my' signature this third dayA of October, A; 111866.l
